Phnom Penh – The upcoming Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations (CDAC) is crucial for Asian countries to promote greater cooperation in culture, said a Cambodian spokesman.

In an interview with Xinhua on Sunday ahead of the CDAC, which is due to be held in Beijing from May 15 to 22, Ek Tha, a spokesman for the Phnom Penh-based Asian Cultural Council (ACC), said it would be a good opportunity for all participating countries to showcase their unique culture and civilizations to the world.

“I have no doubt that such a big gathering with so many representatives from countries in Asia will not only bring about the greater understanding of Asian diversified civilizations, but also bridge those countries to come up with a common sense of sustainable development of cultural heritage,” he said.
